A Fort Lauderdale office that shuts for a storm still leaves milk in the fridge if nobody owns the last hour. Three days later the building reopens and the first pour is a science experiment. Generator-hot pantries are a different South Florida problem. This is the planned empty before the lights go out.
Brickell towers with 24-hour security still need a named person. The desk will not dump dairy for you.
Make dump-and-lock a written closeout
Opened milk goes out. Unopened backup can stay if power to that fridge is expected to hold. If power is uncertain, take unopened product home or to a site that will stay up. Beans and cups can wait. Dairy cannot.
Our next visit should start with an empty, wiped fridge, not with a biohazard. Photograph the empty box. That photo is the reopen checklist.
Do not judge cup counts from the reopen crush
The first day back is not a normal Tuesday. People drink more because they are back, not because the program grew. A free two-week trial should not lock restock math from a reopen day. Use the two-week trial FAQ.
The South Florida blog has more local notes. Use the break room readiness quiz if facilities already keeps a storm closeout.
Restock only after power and cooling are confirmed
If the fridge sat warm, do not refill until temperature is back in spec. We will not deliver milk into a warm box to “get the station going.”
What we need on the call
Whether a shutdown is planned, who dumps milk, and when power to the pantry fridge is expected to hold. We will schedule the first restock after that, not before.
